Nicely groomed brows can frame and pull your entire look together. However, trying to achieve the perfect brow can be a challenge, we all have one brow longer, thicker or sparse in areas. Years ago the ‘in’ thing was thin brows. Now big thick brows like Cara Dele​vin​gn​e are all the fashion.

With this step by step guide I hope you can achieve the perfect brow to suit you.

1. Start by brushing your brows into place so they are all sitting flat in the same direction with an eyebrow brush.

2. I like to use MAC Espresso eyeshadow in brown,(it suits 99% of all clients I work with and you can use it as a eye shadow for smoky eyes as well) apply with a flat edged or a small angled brush for better control of a dark product. Load your brush with the eye shadow. Tap your brush on your hand to remove excess product.

3. Angle your brush upwards on a slight vertical and in short strokes lightly fill in your brows, following your natural brow shape. ​W​hen you get to the arch of your brow or the high point, turn your brush on an angle facing downwards and continue to fill in your brows to finish.

4. ​For​ a guide ​line​ of where your brow should end, you can measure by placing your brush on the corner of your nostril and lining the brush vertically to where your brow should finish. ​ ​

5. If you make a mistake by going to long or too dark use a cotton bud to lightly take off the excess product.

6. To finish, set your brows with a setting product ​or hairspray works just as good, ​ to fix​ your brows​ and to avoid any rouge hairs going in different directions.

​

And that’s basically it! I’ve specifically chosen all Mac products so you can do your shopping all in one go at MAC. ​Good luck!

Up for a new look? At Hollywood Hair in Central, Benjamin Amey has such a deft touch with hair color, ideal for any executive who needs to move seamlessly between the boardroom and their social lifestyle. Recently advising a regular client on a new style, Benjamin recommends adding some color in terms of subtle highlights: a technique often referred to as “Shoe Shine”. Benjamin went on to say “Its old school,” which had a caring sound about this technique. He adds: “When it’s your first time for hair color, you need professional advice – a stylist to sit beside you, not talk from above but to sit alongside of you to instill confidence and excitement about what will be a new look”.

It’s really hard to find a hair stylist that understands colour in Hong Kong. Blondes tend to have the toughest time of all, with friends reporting from the frontline on fried, over-processed ends and greenish streaks, but us redheads also struggle when it comes to finding someone who can deliver intensity of colour while staving off the intense fade that reds can suffer in the harsh climate. (Science factoid: red fades faster than other hair dyes as the colour molecules are larger and wash out more easily than other shades, resulting in brassiness, not to mention that telltale pink tide all over your white towels!)
